Currently...

Happy Wednesday! Instead of posting another photo of our snowy yard, I've devised a new form of torture for my readers for those times when I didn't prepare a post. :)

Eating...
Ice cream. I am currently writing this post from a chair tucked behind a soft-serve machine at an ice cream show. When he's not guiding tours, my husband also works with marketing and developing new ice cream flavors for Country Dairy (which literally has the best milk and ice cream on the planet). This naturally has its perks (and dangers... imagine unlimited access to chocolate milk and ice cream... imagine...). One of these dangerous perks is going to ice cream shows, which is great for networking and making sales and all that, but it's also great for eating more free ice cream than you could possibly want. The key is pacing yourself. Personally, I can eat salt and vinegar all day but my threshold for sweets is pretty low, so although Will has been plying me with little cups of ice cream all day, I had to decline after the 6th or 7th sample. Besides Country Dairy (which is always good), I think my favorite was the Dole Whip (orange). It tasted just like an orange sherbet push-pop (amazing). :)

Feeling...
Sore. In general, I have an incredible aversion to exercise - an intolerance so severe that it borders on an allergy. Sometimes I fancy that I would like to be fit, but my body immediately panics and sirens start going off in my head... total revolt. However, I also like to be able to get the car out of the driveway, so the record snowfall has sabotaged my body's Automatic Exercise Shut-down Response. I've actually been glad that it's gotten me out of the house though and the exercise and fresh air has really felt good. I think my tiny biceps might even be benefiting.

Enjoying...
Fleece-lined tights. I've been wistfully pondering them ever since the snow began to fall, but last week (encouraged by this lovely lady's recommendation) I finally broke down and bought a pair from T.J. Maxx for about six bucks. Where have they been all my life? I've been trying to figure out how to wear skirts and dresses this winter without sacrificing warmth, and fleece-lined tights seem to do the trick. :)

  1. Eating: sack lunch, compliments of my dad. This means a dad-size sandwich, which means lunch AND supper for me:)

    Feeling: It's Monday. I'll let you know tomorrow. heh.

    Enjoying: Spotify radio. I've been in a music rut lately and haven't discovered any new favorites for a while. All my Pandora stations seem to be morphing into clones of one another. Then I tried Spotify radio, and my hope has been renewed in new-music-kind.
